Having a GPS receiver on a keychain certainly does make it easier to bring around, and given the size the claimed uptime of up to 9-10 hours is pretty good. Proporta bundles a USB cable and car charger with the receiver, so you won't lack for charging options. The Freedom Keychain GPS Receiver retails for $129.95 ex VAT.

Now if it had a data logger too it'd be interesting.

I kind of knew, they were scrinking so much in size, you'd have to tie something to them, not to loose them.

Next we will get a GPS tracking device, to track down our tiny GPS devices :lol:

My biggest gripe about BT GPS receivers was that it was another thing I had to carry. Having it built into my device was always the better option for me, despite the fact that it wasn't easily portable to a newer device (Of course I always felt that the devices I'd stick with the longest would have GPS built in). Anyway, perhaps this one is small enough to actually take along reliably, although as someone who is annoyed they have a keychain remote for their car on their ring, I'd probably not be one to buy it and chain it up.

But it is cool...
